Jasmine Mitchell, 25, was also shot but is in good condition, Strickland said. We’re told investigators have one person of interest in custody in relation to the shooting.

Strickland said deputies responded to the shooting around 2 a.m. He said when deputies arrived, shell casings littered the scene.

“When they got here, they noticed the shell casings were in the roadway and the house had been shot up," said Strickland. "After doing a further investigation, they noticed one person was injured and one was deceased inside the residence.”
